The Dispute on the Catholick’s side was most spent in Words, he being able to answer to all the Protestant’s Reasons with nothing but a Negative, and say, _It is not true_, _That is false_. But at last, as they grew warm, the Protestant pressing closer upon him, put this Question to him, on purpose because he saw him so ignorant. _Whether or no it were easier for Christ to have err’d in delivering his Gospel_, _than for the_ Pope _to erre in his Decrees_? At this the Monk smiled, and thinking to hit the nail on the head, answer’d him boldly, _That he believed that Christ_, _as Man_, _might have erred_; _but that the_ Pope, _as God_, _could not erre_. At this Answer the Protestant burst out a laughing, and so did some _Swisser_ Ladies, who without doubt had more wit and discernment in matters of Religion, than this impertinent Monk. And thus the Dispute ceased; the Protestant contenting himself to have shewed the others Ignorance, and the Monk thinking he had answer’d most invincibly. And indeed, in what Soul or Mind can this Opinion be receiv’d, That the _Pope_ is more infallible than Christ; That God should fail in his Words, and a _Pope_ be infallible in His Decrees? O Blasphemy, and horrible Error in the poor abus’d People! who give more credit to the _Pope’s_ words, than to Christ’s own Gospel. It has been observed, that in the _Popes_ Families there has been Saints, even amongst their inferiour rank of their Servants; and yet there never was any of their Nephews Saints. I have turned over great Volumes of the Church-History, a purpose to see if amongst that great number of men, who are said to has performed Miracles, there were any one of a Nipotismo to be found amongst them: But truly I lost my pains; for the _Popes_, who have filled up the _Roman_ Kalendar with thousands of Saints, have not yet been able to place one of their Nephews there. And indeed, how is it possible that they, that live in delight and greatness, should have room amongst those that have purchased their place in heaven by sufferings and poverty? And me-thinks, it is a sad thing to observe for the Nephews, that all the harm the Church has received was from those amongst them that shewed the strongest Propension to Riches and Power: whereas all the good that has been done by them comes from those amongst them that have been moderate, and contented with ordinary riches. And now if we measure the good by these moderate men, and the ill by the insatiable, the number of the last being much greater than that of the first, will demonstrate to us that the damage the Church receives from the _Nipotismo_ is much greater then the good they ever did or will do to it.
